MoveOn Civic Action & The Other 98% teamed up to keep
the message going: We Are Being Lied To. The country
isn't broke and the last thing we should be doing is
gutting workers' rights and cutting vital services
American families depend on.

MoveOn Civic Action released a faux Fox News hack video
to send the message: We are being lied to. The American
people have the right to know that the country is not
broke and we shouldn't be cutting vital services
families depend on. We must fight back against right-
wing efforts to gut workers' rights and dismantle the
middle class.

About the American Dream Movement

We grew up hearing about the American Dream. It's the
dream of a country where, if you work hard and play by
the rules, you can live with dignity, provide for your
family, and give your kids a better life. A country
where we strive for greatness-and take care of each
other when times get hard.

Right now the American Dream is under siege. Tens of
millions of willing workers can't find jobs. Millions
of homeowners have lost their homes to foreclosure and
millions more are underwater. Instead of investing in
our shared future, politicians are giving tax breaks to
the rich and then slashing vital services families
depend on. Rather than expanding protections for the
middle class during these difficult economic times,
they're trying to gut workers' rights.

But a new movement is rising all across America to
fight back.

It was born among the teachers, students, firefighters
and nurses of Wisconsin who took over their Capitol to
stop to Governor Walker's power grab. Now it's
spreading as millions of other Americans-inspired by
the events in Madison, Wisconsin-stand up to say "No"
to right-wing attacks on the middle class.

Van Jones called this new wave of energy the "American
Dream Movement." It's growing stronger by the day, and
it's not going away until Americans can find jobs,
afford to go to college, retire with dignity, and
secure a future for their children and their
communities.

On Thursday, June 23rd, Van Jones will be joined by The
Roots, artist/DJ Shepard Fairey, and other celebrity
guests in New York City to kick off the movement to
rebuild the American Dream. No matter where you live in
America, you can join. We'll be livestreaming the event
on this page: www.rebuildthedream.com. Please spread
the word to your friends, families and neighbors.
